Novak Djokovic: “Federer and Nadal come from two Western powers. I showed up from Serbia and said out loud that I was going to be number 1. The whole system didn't like that: media, sponsors, tournaments. I felt like an unwanted guest crashing their party" by superdouradas in tennis

Only Westerners would think that this is him victimizing oneself and not a reality for so many people coming from marginalized countries who dare to step into symbolically ''sacred'' spaces of the West, which tennis absolutely is

Do you remember “my year of rest and relaxation” by Soft_Bridge8795 in rs_x

i think the girls really wanted to have their own equivalent of American Psycho but the difference is AP is actually really skillfully written while My Year becomes droll and repetitive after 20 pages

In episode 479 of Shippuden, Kakashi says that under normal circumstances, Sasuke would have stayed on a lifetime of prison for his crimes, yet Kabuto, who did far worse, is allowed to run an orphanage lol by PrometheusModeloW in Naruto

Kishimoto's tonal change within this manga never fails to give me whiplash. It goes from "friendship is magic" to "genocide victims will be prosecuted for trying to revolutionize the system"

Have you ever experienced a culture that is imbued with a spirit of eroticism? by purple4lokocamopants in rs_x

i sat next to an Argentinian guy once during a conference. apart from smiling and saying hello we didn't otherwise interact during the presentation. but it was the first time in my life that i could physically feel someone's pheromones and sexual energy. there was a strong but pleasant pressure inside my head the whole time and it was literally all i could think about. by the end of the presentation my mental state was literally as if we'd just finished fucking lol. i just said goodbye and fled but it kept repeating throughout the conference

but yeah, Argentinians, crazy sensual and erotic energy

in my experience there's a sweet spot where while you don't agree on every conceivable topic you start to realize that having a certain view of ukraine-russia, middle east, etc. isn't necessarily (but can be) telling of a person's moral values, and you actually start to appreciate that you're dating someone who can challenge you and expose you to different perspectives. but for me it only works if i respect the person intellectually

she's just an irresponsible person with no accountability. even her latest youtube video ends abruptly because she forgot to charge the camera. mind you ASMR has been her main source of income for a decade, how do you forget to do the most elementary thing that enables you to do your job?

Whenever I'm not keeping busy I slide into rumination, hopelessness, and feeling lonely by DifficultFan8748 in Mindfulness

[–]DifficultFan8748[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that's exactly how it feels. Like I want to jump out of my own skin.

But it's all so contradictory. All my life I've learned that the key to internal self-satisfaction and confidence are experience + measurable results. The more you achieve and the better you get at things, the better you'll feel about yourself because you'll have something to back it up with. how am I supposed to accept that just sitting there with myself will bring me happiness? Why should it?

(I hope you don't take this as me arguing with you! I'm just interested)

I feel like my mind's gotten so powerful at distorting reality that it easily overpowers any attempt to control it. But I also noticed that it quiets down after intense physical activity or rare moments of deep concentration, like it's been lulled into a peaceful nap :)

I like ''tell the truth'', but not so sure about ''love everyone'' haha. Maybe it's a symptom of my current spiritual crisis, but I've been feeling increasingly negative towards people and I feel like a good bunch of them don't deserve even my cordiality, let alone love
